Fiona Edgington: Actor in Taunton, United Kingdom.

Thanks for connecting :)

Had a great day at work the other day, was expecting to do the usual background work which pays the bills but doesn't get me anywhere in the acting world, but found myself being featured and wearing a mic. Great scene with the lead actress, loved every minute and only made me more hungry for acting work. Such a buzz! :)

For years now I've been told I look elven, it's the biggest compliment as I love everything fantasy particularly elves! It would be the role of a lifetime for me. Just need some casting directors to see what a lot of other people see.

Just wondering if I should introduce myself before I start the tape audition or wait till the end so the audition starts straight away. I know in this business it only takes a matter of seconds for the casting director to decide if you're any good so want to do it right.

Ahhh!!! Catch 22. I need a showreel to go up for acting jobs, yet I need acting jobs to get a showreel! Feel in limbo at the moment. I need to get going and this is the biggest thing stopping me moving forwards.

Nice photos!

Hi Fiona, thanks for connecting. How are things with you?

I will do whatever I can to succeed in this industry however it is hard with three kids and bills to pay. I have no money for courses as my kids activities come first, if we have no money for a holiday we certainly don't have it for me. I have to learn through experience alone and as I need money that comes in the form of SA work. Now I've read countless articles on how if you become an extra you will never be an actor and I think that's rather unfair. I soak up any information I pick up from these jobs and have seen what it really takes to make a film/tv series. It certainly hasn't put me off, in fact it's made me hungrier to make it work as an actress. I will do unpaid work if it comes along and gives me a chance to learn and get myself out there but good old extra work does indeed help pay the bills. So don't forget the struggling actors out there who don't want to be known as only extras as we will do anything close to acting until we get there.

Hey Fiona, thanks for connecting!

Hi. I am new to this website, so here is a bit about me. As a child all I could think about was horses, I was horse mad and assumed that working with horses was all I would ever want to do. My sister was an actress at the time and I always thought acting was her thing. After working with horses for some years I started a family and changed a lot as a person along the way. As my family grew up I started exploring different interests and ended up joining my local amateur dramatics society. I've never looked back. From there I started doing a bit of extra work and loved learning about how programs are made. However despite no formal training I would love to break into acting. I make up for my lack of training with tons of life experience to tap into and a willingness to learn from every opportunity given to me.
